Do you love Doug DeMuro?

Do you adore James May?

Do you wish the two of them had a love child that was addicted to coffee and had an automotive newsletter?

You're in luck.

@denk_tweets this is cool to see you say. I've never used AI in my beehiiv newsletter (MaxFindsCars), but up until recently I had stopped writing because it was discouraged seeing the amount of output from folks using ai written content. It's good to be back, writing in my own crazy voice.

To Soham Parekh: pay back your karma debts and work for MaxFindsCars for free for 6 months.

I will personally absolve you of all your overemployed sin.

hoarding car parts has never felt so validating

@horsepower am in a '18 GLA45 for my daily right now and feeling like these are the perfect size up

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

@horsepower think of all the gauges you get at that price though

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

457*. Cannot count. Great.

day 456 of working on MaxFindsCars every day. Building in public is magical.

I am far from a consistent poster of what I'm working on, but I made yesterdays post to socials and already have more potential partners reaching out.

Yet another sign I simply need to keep marketing.

3/3) that's it (for now). These features are the setup for a lot more. I'm chipping away every day, and have been for more than a year. So if you like cars, subscribe to https://t.co/dCFGBuQxLj. If you don't like cars, reconsider, then subscribe to MaxFindsCars.

Thank you, ily

day 456 of working on MaxFindsCars every day until its the easiest way to find your dream car on the internet. A couple oft-asked for features are officially live! quick 🧵(w/ videos of each).

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

2/?) share. Each car listing you receive in an email or otherwise is now easily sharable. Lot's of people end up sending listings via MaxFindsCars to friends, this makes it easier.

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

day 454 in a row of working on MaxFindsCars:
- lots of behind the scenes feature work, things I'm really excited about.
- getting small amounts of organic growth, wild.
- found a couple guys doing something really similar to me. Their product is really cool, though they're taking a different angle than me. Interestingly I think their marketing/social media is completely automated via AI. Granted, its not showing tons of growth yet, but its clever.

bye bye.

@thesamparr Need the details on the bike Sam! Looks great. Love a good scrambler build.

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

use devin ai multiple times a week at work. Can have it work in the background on something I'd otherwise give to a jr dev to do, all while I'm doing something else.

it's not replacing people, but they are delivering on their promise imo.

also handy for searching code repos.

This tiny team tricked Silicon Valley:

Overhyped their AI
Reached $2 BILLION valuation
Invited to elite tech conferences
Created mass panic among developers

But one software engineer spotted a fatal flaw—and everything unraveled.

Here's the outrageous story:🧵

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

day 437 in a row of working on MaxFindsCars until its the ultimate AI powered car search tool in the universe:

* worked on new share feature so you can share cars you find on maxfindscars with your friends (or enemies, to brag).
* should've been marketing

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

It’s 10pm on a Thursday,
you turn 30 in 2 hours,
2.5 craft beers deep,
overate Italian food,
billions spent training LLM’s can’t figure out your SaaS’s internal server errors,
ETH is up 20% tho,
happy birthday (you should be marketing)

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

anyways, if you’re curious what all that code accomplished you should subscribe to MaxFindsCars (for free) to get a front row seat.

I suspect it will all break in some hilarious way tomorrow morning.

[Max 🏎️ @maxjzin]

It’s 11pm, you’ve just merged 1000 lines of code you barely tested to your startups backend.

1000 lines of code for UX improvements, and making things prettier, more efficient.

You should’ve been marketing, making reels, hustling for partnerships.

Instead you code. It is what you know how to do.

But… deep down, you know the magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
